I count six but I'm just an underpaid nobody, I think they are a new company DBA 'Other'. What's the big deal-eo? Who also lives in Sacramento. That was my hourly rate to desktops who happen to be relatives, my network business rate is astronomical plus whatever the mileage compensation is. If there is air travel, no business on either travel day and the best suite at the Motel 6.

I just fell into a Mac today. It is the one with the base that is the half sphere and has some sort of cantilevered display mount. Will it run OS/X?

I was offered a very lucrative new business last week (for me that is although I consulted on a couple over the years) that I've been wanting to do for 20 years. I did some calculations on a napkin and it looks doable. Lots of risk so now that I might be doing something else, maybe somebody will take my #1 spot as the guy that gets things done, then you'll be able to break 100. Good news all around.

Of course, I will move my clients off to a guy who is as good if not better than me but if things fail (which I doubt since my would be partner is brilliant at what he does), I'll step back in as if I've never left.

Of course I'm no longer in your head, I sold your soul to Ned Flanders:

I like the cut of his jib.

You need some straight sane thinking and I think you'll find this person's viewpoint, ummmmm, unique. Not safe for anyone.

This is wonderful fresh thinking

Hey! I'm glad for you. . . I hope it isn't Bridge leases. . . In Brooklyn. Grin.

I hope you got a good price for me. . . But I just checked my soul and it's still here. . . although the IRS has been trying to get a lien on it for some time. And, no, I haven't ". . .sold my soul to the company store!"

Now about your Mac. It will run OSX.

Unfortunately, that's an iMac G4 Processor PowerMac, (no Intel processor) and depending on which model you have, it might be able to run OSX.5.8 Leopard, but most of those G4s could only be upgraded to OSX.4.11 Tiger. Those G4s with a 1.0 GHz or a 1.25 GHz PowerPC processor can be upgraded to OSX.5.8 Leopard. They can also run Apple MacOS 9.2.2 via the software Rosetta app.

The 700 MHz and 800 MHz earlier models which only supported OSX Tiger, had a maximum RAM of 1GB. They were introduced in 2002 and discontinued in 2003' in favor of the 1.0 and 1.25 GHz with Max 2GB capacity, which were in-turn, discontinued July 1, 2004. Ten years ago.

We used to use 10 of these in the dental office I manage for one my clients as workstations. When they were retired in favor of Intel iMacs, the office donated them to my food bank where, as far as I know since I still get questions occasionally about the database I created for them, they are still being used.

I was just reading about a browser for OSX.5 Leopard PowerMacs that has modern HTML5 drivers in it that's keeping some of these antiques still operating safely on the Internet. Here ya go! PowerPC Macs most definitely still have game

Looks like it won't work with Tiger, too bad, but yours is one that'll take Leopard, I think I might be able to scare up a Leopard install disk.
